    Abstract The most common histological type of urinary bladder cancer is urothelial carcinoma (UC). Clear cell adenocarcinoma (CCA) of the urinary bladder is a rare histologic subtype of adenocarcinoma in the urinary tract. The tumor primarily affects women and has histomorphological features resembling CCA of the female genital tract (or Müllerian origin). Clear cell adenocarcinoma consists of cells with abundant clear cytoplasm, arranged in solid, glandular, or tubulocystic patterns. Patients typically present with gross hematuria, dysuria, and discharge. In this study, we report a case of a 50-year-old male, presenting with gross hematuria, which was subsequently diagnosed with CCA at our pathology department. Furthermore, we provide a short systematic review of the literature for this rare histopathological entity and a brief discussion about its morphological and immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics.

    Abstract Estuarine‐coastal systems receive pollutants from various sources at an alarming rate. Some systems are extremely susceptible to terrestrial input, as a relatively small amount of pollutant loading induces lasting water quality degradation. The Jiangsu coastal waters (JCWs), located in the southwestern Yellow Sea, are such areas that lack large river discharge but suffer from recurrent eutrophication recently. We hypothesize that the low flushing efficiency in the JCWs largely accounted for the susceptibility to coastal pollution. To test it, transit time (TT) and pollutant flushing rates in the JCWs were estimated under various scenarios using a validated three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model. Results show that TT in many inshore waters of the JCWs and the northern radial sand ridges is >240 days, which are consistent with the observed frequently eutrophic areas. The JCWs are better flushed and thus less eutrophic in summer, as a consequence of the stronger tidal residual coastal circulation. The baroclinic pressure gradient, modulated by the formation and destruction of thermal stratification in offshore waters, poses a dominant control on the seasonal variations of the coastal circulation and flushing rates, while wind effects are secondary. River‐borne pollutants from the Yangtze and Jiangsu local rivers are shown to primarily affect regions south and north of 32.5°N, respectively. Our study interprets the vulnerability of the JCWs to pollutant enrichment from a physical perspective and finds the flushing efficiency to be a good indicator of eutrophication, providing references for environmental managers of local and global estuarine‐coastal systems with recurrent pollution.

    Abstract A parameterization of vertical mixing induced by fine-scale near-inertial internal waves (F-scheme) is implemented in the Parallel Ocean Program, version 2 (POP2). The F-scheme is based on the spectrum model via solving the non-traditional approximation internal wave equations and the observed internal wave spectra. The structure of the resulting dissipation and diffusivity fields and its impacts on the ocean model simulations are investigated. The diffusivity coefficient derived from F-scheme varies spatiotemporally, and is generally in consistent magnitude with observed results in the middle to high latitude ocean, and show the similar latitude dependent characteristics with the current observations, depending on the product of the horizontal and vertical components of the Coriolis parameter (f·f∼) as well as the local stratification condition. The interior mixing induced by F-scheme has some noticeable impacts on the temperature and salinity structure near the main thermocline, the meridional overturning circulation and northward heat transport as has been demonstrated in the other two OGCMs (LICOM and MOM4). The temperature and salinity structure simulated using F-scheme are statistically closer to observations, especially it improves the simulation of the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Antarctic Circumpolar Circulation. But the involved background mixing coefficients or F-scheme enlarges the temperature and salinity biases in the Atlantic Ocean, the cause is related to the pre-existing weak Antarctic Intermediate Water intrusion toward north and the inexact Atlantic Meridional Overturn Circulation simulation in the present model. F-scheme provides weak mixing in some regions, where an appropriate parameterization of turbulent mixing induced by wave-wave interaction also should be considered in the future.

    Abstract To explore the value of the Helicobacter pylori test in combination with the determination of plasma pepsinogen (PG) and gastrin 17 in screening the precancerous status of gastric cancer and gastric cancer in the healthy population, between 2019 and 2022, we enrolled a total of 402 subjects who went to the physical examination in the Center of Health Management of Ganzhou people's Hospital and additionally underwent the urea (14C) breath test and determination of PGI, PGII and G-17. Anomalies in Hp, PG or G-17 ≥ 2, or a single anomaly in PG determination would be taken as positive, and the diagnosis should be further confirmed by the gastroscopy and pathological test. According to the results, subjects would be further divided into the gastric cancer group, precancerous lesion group, precancerous disease group and control group, aiming to clarify the relationship between Hp, PG and G-17 levels and the precancerous status and development of gastric cancer and the screening value. Results showed that Hp-positive infection was found in 341 subjects (84.82%). Hp infection rate in the control group was much lower than those in the precancerous disease group, precancerous lesion group and gastric cancer group (P < 0.05). The CagA positive rates in the gastric cancer group and precancerous lesion group were significantly higher than those in the precancerous disease group and control group, while the serum level of G-17 in the gastric cancer group was much higher than those in the precancerous lesion group, precancerous disease group and control group (P < 0.05), and the PG I/II ratio in the gastric cancer patients was also lower than those in the precancerous lesion group, precancerous disease group and control group (P < 0.05). As the disease progressed, the G-17 level also increased but PG I/II ratio decreased gradually (P < 0.001). Hp test in combination with PG and G-17 shows a high value in determining the precancerous status of gastric cancer and screening for gastric cancer in healthy subjects.

    Abstract Coupled general circulation models (CGCMs), as tools of predicting climate variability, are constantly being improved due to their immense value in a host of theoretical and practical, real-world problems. Consequently, four new parameterization schemes are introduced in the First Institute of Oceanography Earth System Model (FIO-ESM), and a new climate prediction System (CPS) is built up based on modified and original FIO-ESM. Here, turbulence from the sea surface to deep ocean were fully described, and seasonal forecasts of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and year-to-year prediction of Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) were made with both the modified and original FIO-ESM-CPS. The results illustrate that the anomaly correlation coefficient (ACC) of the Niño 3.4 index significantly increased, and the root mean square error (RMSE) significantly decreased, respectively, in the modified FIO-ESM-CPS as compared to the original. The RMSE is improved by over 20% at 4- and 5-month lead times. Over longer leads, and in the modified FIO-ESM-CPS, forecast ENSO amplitudes are far closer to observations than the original CGCM, which significantly overestimates amplitudes. PDO prediction skill is also improved in the modified FIO-ESM-CPS with ACC improving by 36% at the 4-year lead time and RMSE decreasing by 21% at the 3-year lead time.

    Abstract Background: Weight loss is a significant improvement for individuals with overweight or obesity, especially for cardiovascular patients. The driving effects of weight self-perception and attempts to lose weight are vital in weight management, yet weight misperception is a direct culprit for the undesirability of weight control and obesity prevention. This study aimed to investigate weight self-perception and misperception and weight loss attempts in Chinese adults, especially among cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular patients.
    Methods: We collected data from China HeartRescue Global Evaluation Baseline Household Survey 2015. Questionnaires were used to assess self-reported weight and cardiovascular patients. We used kappa statistics to check the consistency between weight self-perception and BMI. Logistic regression models were fitted to identify risk factors associated with weight misperception.
    Results: A total of 2690 participants were enrolled in the household survey, while 157 respondents were cardiovascular patients. According to questionnaire results, 43.3% of cardiovascular patients thought they were overweight and obese, while the percentage is 35.3% among non-cardiovascular patients. Kappa statistics indicated higher consistency of self-reported weight and actual weight among cardiovascular patients. Multivariate analysis showed weight misperception was significantly associated with gender, education level, and actual BMI. Lastly, 34.5% of non-cardiovascular patients and 35.0% of cardiovascular patients were trying to lose weight or keep weight. The majority of these people adopted combined strategies of controlling diet and exercise to lose or maintain weight.
    Conclusions: Weight misperception was highly prevalent among cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular patients. Obese respondents, women, and individuals with lower education levels were more vulnerable to make weight misperception. However, no difference in the purpose of weight loss attempts was indicated among cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular patients.

    Abstract The precise mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of SIRT3, a mitochondrial sirtuin protein, on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, as well as its impact on mitochondrial respiration, remain poorly understood. We assessed sirtuins 3 (SIRT3) levels in HCC tissues and Huh7 cells cultured under hypoxic condition. We investigated the effects of SIRT3 on cell proliferation, glycolytic metabolism, mitochondrial respiration, mitophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis in Huh7 cells. Besides, we explored the potential mechanisms regulating SIRT3 expression in hypoxically cultured Huh7 cells. Gradual reduction in SIRT3 expressions were observed in both adjacent tumor tissues and tumor tissues. Similarly, SIRT3 expressions were diminished in Huh7 cells cultured under hypoxic condition. Forced expression of SIRT3 attenuated the growth of hypoxically cultured Huh7 cells. SIRT3 overexpression led to a decrease in extracellular acidification rate while increasing oxygen consumption rate. SIRT3 downregulated the levels of hexokinase 2 and pyruvate kinase M2. Moreover, SIRT3 enhanced mitophagy signaling, as indicated by mtKeima, and upregulated key proteins involved in various mitophagic pathways while reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. Furthermore, SIRT3 increased proxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1α levels and the amount of mitochondrial DNA in Huh7 cells. Notably, β-catenin expressions were elevated in Huh7 cells cultured under hypoxic condition. Antagonists and agonists of β-catenin respectively upregulated and downregulated SIRT3 expressions in hypoxically cultured Huh7 cells. The modulationsof glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration represent the primary mechanism through which SIRT3, suppressed by β-catenin, inhibits HCC cell proliferation.

    Abstract Background and aims: The associations between dietary vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE) intake and aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) remain unclear. This study aimed to prospectively investigate the associations between dietary VC and VE with the incident risk of AAD.
    Methods and results: A total of 139 477 participants of UK Biobank cohort were included in the analysis. Dietary VC and VE consumptions were acquired through a 24-h recall questionnaire. Cox proportional regression models were used to examine the associations between VC, VE intake and the risk of AAD. Incident AAD was ascertained through hospital inpatient records and death registers. During a median follow-up of 12.5 years, 962 incident AAD events were documented. Both dietary VC [adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 0.77; 95 % confidence intervals (CI), 0.63-0.93; P-trend = 0.008] and VE (adjusted HR, 0.70; 95 % CI, 0.57-0.87; P-trend = 0.002) were inversely associated with incident AAD when comparing the participants in the highest quartile with those in the lowest. In subgroup analyses, the associations were more pronounced in participants who were over 60 years old, participants with smoking history, hypertension or hyperlipidemia, who were under the high risk of AAD.
    Conclusion: Higher dietary VC and VE intakes are associated with reduced risk of AAD. Our study emphasizes the importance of diet adjustment strategies targeted on VC and VE to lower the incidence rate of AAD especially in the high-risk population.

    Abstract Mesoscale eddies dominate the majority of oceanic kinetic energy. The size of eddies is one of the basic properties; however, little is known about it because of lack of observations. Especially, their global vertical extent has still not been well investigated. Here, a ratio relationship of height to length scale for an eddy is derived based on dynamical constraints. Global satellite altimetry data combined with Argo float observations are used to calculate the aspect ratios of mesoscale eddies in the global ocean, and then their vertical scale is inferred. Approximately 25% of the total identified eddies with lifetimes ≥16 weeks from January 2002 to December 2017 trapped at least an Argo float near the eddy center. The result shows that the size of eddies has an obvious latitudinal dependence. Eddies at middle‐low latitudes tend to be “large and shallow” with small aspect ratios, and eddies at high latitudes tend to be “small and deep– reaching” with large aspect ratios. Such results are coarsely considered as a competition between rotation and stratification. Eddy aspect ratios in middle‐high‐latitude regions show enhanced variance compared to those in low‐latitude regions. More than half of eddies have a vertical extent smaller than 400 m. The majority of eddies extend over the mixed layer depth and are instead situated in the pycnocline. Some eddies at the middle‐high latitudes penetrate through the entire pycnocline and reach deep ocean; as such, these eddies may play an important role in linking the deep‐sea circulations and the surface circulations.

    Abstract Aim: To examine the associations between serum albumin and the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications in participants of the UK Biobank cohort.
    Methods: There were 398,146 participants without diabetes and 30,952 patients with diabetes from the UK Biobank cohort included in this study. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze the association of albumin with the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was used to determine the genetic relationships between serum albumin and diabetes.
    Results: After a median 12.90 years follow-up, 14,710 participants developed incident diabetes (58.83 ± 7.52 years, 56.10% male). After multivariate adjustment, serum albumin was inversely associated with incident diabetes: hazard ratio (HR) [95% confidence interval] per 10 g/l increase 0.88 [0.82;0.94]. MR analyses suggested a potential genetic influence of serum albumin on diabetes in both the UK Biobank and the FinnGen consortium: odds ratios (ORs) [95% confidence interval per 1 g/l increase 0.99 [0.98;1.00] and 0.78 [0.67;0.92], respectively. In patients with diabetes, higher serum albumin levels were significantly associated with lower risk for diabetic microvascular complications. Specifically, per 10 g/l increase in serum albumin, the HRs for diabetic nephropathy, ophthalmopathy, and neuropathy were 0.42 [0.30;0.58], 0.61 [0.52;0.72], and 0.67 [0.51;0.88], respectively.
    Conclusion: In this large prospective study, serum levels of albumin were inversely associated with the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications. These findings underscore the importance of maintaining optimal nutrient status in reducing the risk of diabetes and its complications.
